Win7 - Some pinned program's icons are corrupt, show default
- by Andrew Backer
I have both FF 3.6 & Chrome pinned to my taskbar in win7. The icons for these two programs show up as the ugly default icon from yesteryear. Strange. Is there some way to force an icon refresh for pinned programs?
When I first added them they showed properly, but several days later they reverted to this state
Un-pinning the program causes the icon to show up properly, and re-pinning it causes it to break again.
These other proggies show up fine: Media Center, Media Player Classic HC, Hulu Desktop, WMP, and the folders.
I have 2 user accounts on this box, and both are showing this behavior. I have tried changing the taskbar icon size to 'small' and back, but to no effect.

The icons show up as broken in the start menu too, but I can navigate to the EXE directly. When I click "change icon" in the properties for the start menu entry I get the error : Can not find %ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome...\chrome.exe.
